OUR amiable and able evening con

OUR amiable and able evening con-
Temporary, the Express, yesterday
contained most timely editorial on
the matter of assessments. But San
Francisco, while the most glaring, is
mot the only case of assessment below
the parity of what Mr.. Mason has put
|on our shoulders. If our valuation
Stands, those of nearly every county
lin the State must be raised. And the
State Board of Equalization seems to
take this view when it cites two
thirds of the counties to appear
Eand show cause why their assessments
should not be raised. But much
simpler way and one which will better
commend itself to the judgment Of
most people is to lower our values in q
heroic degree, while raising some oi
the others moderately. Again we
must differ from the details set forth
5by our contemporary when it puts
twenty-five per cent. as the ratio by
(which we should be lowered. Nothing
Hess than q full one.third reduction

M UGH pains are taken in C,

Much pains are taken in certain
quarters to distribute broadcast the
comparative figures of shipments to
the east from certain cities in Califor-
mia. In this connection it may be
worthy of note that seasons are usually
chosen for this sort OF publication
when the comparison is not favorable
to Los Angeles, the one great shipping
|point in Southern California. The
past month was such period. 1t is
in the winter and early spring when
most of our products are finding their
way to the east. Oranges go from
January to June; early vegetables 90
in the spring months. 1t is also OBJ
servable that the city of Sacramento
gets credit for great deal not legiti-
mately hers. She is credited with all
that originates all around her, and be-
cause there is the Office of the Central
Pacific lines, which receive a great
deal from the Southern Pacific lines
cumming from the south, she gets cred
lit for much freight whose initial point
of shipment is here in Los Angeles
where the stuff grows. 1t merely
passes through Sacramento, and that
|is all.

THE effort to "fill the pulpit" Of
plymouth Church, made vacant by
i the death of its late pastor, Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, is an example
Bof attempting the impossible. Hac
ethe Plymouth congregation been COM
posed of a people homogeneous in
religious faith and 'sympathies, with
some central creed or polity to KEEP
them together, it had been all straight
sailing, in spite of the dead pastors
overmastering genius. In such a case
some Elisha would have been found
lon whose shoulders the mantel of the
ascending prophet might have fallen
But what spirit is to inspire the
soul which is to carry forward the
work of the dead pastor Of
the Brooklyn Church? All dec
trinal tenets, all outward forms
of religion, a good many
of the cardinal virtues OF Christianity
were in turn spurned and attacked by
Mr.. Beecher, after being previously
set up by him as the core and spirit Of
all religion. 1t was his personality,
and no other influence, which gathered
plymouth congregation around it. Nc
extraneous aid was needed. That
personality held this Heterogeneous
mass together in spite of all influences
which ordinarily would have rent ii
asunder. There is nothing to take
the place of that personality, and the
congregation which gathered around
Mr.. Beecher will melt away into its
thousands of unassimilated parts in
spite of all efforts to hold it together
There is no taint of blasphemy in the
remark that Christ himself, could he
reappear on earth, would not be.the
person to "fill the pulpit where
Henry Ward Beecher recently
preached"
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-09-13

NOTHING has taken place hereabouts,
since the present era OF development
first set in, which is more significant
I Iof the reasons for what we call the boom
gthan is the great exploitation made by
! Ia great railroad corporation until then
foreign to the soil of California. The
managers of this road were all EASTERN
men, and the capital employed upon
3the road was all Eastern capital. These
managers had already earned name
! as the shrewdest fnanciers of the
Rtime, and their movements had been
watched by others as pointers" on
which to act. Seldom in the history
: of railroading even in America have
1.-THE developments made in Southern
SCalifornia within the past two years
Hbeen equalled. And if the managers
5of the California Central Railroad
SCompany, as the new corporation is
Scalled in these parts, are men whose
Tiudgment is good to follow in these
$matters, then the southern end of this
Fcounty has the most emphatic
endorsement of that judgment. Aftel
Hgetting into that region, from Riverside
Eby way of the Santiago Canon, they
lare preparing literally to gridiron all
fthat territory with roads. The line
Svia Fulton Sulphur Springs to Ana.
heim is an old story. Another line
twill certainly be built before long tc
Sconnect with the last named one
south of Anaheim, and to run thence
Ito Long Beach. 1t will, of course
kcross the Santa Ana River more to the
+ Eastward, and so get into Santa Ana,
aconnecting there for San Demanding
4 4 and San Diego. Then there is still
one other line surveyed, from the
town of Nadeau, at the cross
ling of the Port Ballona
{road and the present Southern Pacific
3track to Florence, to run thence te
Long Beach, also. Nor is there room
much doubt that still other branches
will be constructed to Newport land
5 ling and to Anaheim landing. Trace
these lines on a map, and they viii
make pretty system of roads through
the south end Of Los Angeles County
1t must be district of rich promise
> which calls out such enterprise as
kthis.

IN MEMORIAM.

Bow thy fair head, bright Genius of our State,
And let thy golden tresses vail thy tears
Alas! Deaths hand stretched forth to immediate
The young the weak the strong, the spent with years.
Hath from the countless throng that daily fall,
Into the wide abyss, ta'en one whose loss
Will send a pang of pain through every heart;
And meath the burden of this heavy
Cause tears from long-dred eyes to freshly start.
But Yesterday hailed thy rising star
Beheld thee firmly the helm of State,-
To-day pail hangs black the sky
A dark k'ning marks hapless fae,
And, 10! how thy gay trumpha
Gives place to pomp of and wild, funereal cry.
